Food and mealtimes have many purposes other than nutritional ones. Mealtimes are traditional times for people to eat together with their family and friends. People like to talk and listen to each other while they enjoy good food and company. I don’t know exactly why sometimes people like to eat alone. Special food and mealtimes can be a way to celebrate special days, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays. ..
I don't usually like to eat alone, but there are times when it's nice to be able to eat something while reading the paper or watching TV and not having to talk to anyone. Most of the time, though, I want company while I eat.
